Welcome to All About Fukuyama Masaharu, part lyrics blog, part fan site, 100% about Masha. It started out as a blog around April 2009 to repost all English lyrics, but after a while I got a bit ambitious and posting many other things I can gather from the net, some pictures, some articles, mostly news in English from the perspective of a fan although you can find some translated articles in here. I do not pretend to say I take credit for the text in here; frankly I just search, gather, summarise, reword and repost. I will always include the name of the fan who said whatever I posted to the best of my ability but as you can see, my sources are mostly from 2 main fan forums of Masha that is not in Japan. My problem is I can't read Japanese or Chinese, but my persistence sometimes does pay off when I just keep looking. You will also find some pictures in here, but all of the pictures you don't see in here are in Facebook, just look for All Abt Masha. I am quite active in that Facebook page, and it is also a place to find information! My main purpose for this blog is for myself; to gather all lyrics in English under one roof. But I am very sure foreign fans can also benefit from the contents in this blog, and without the many wonderful foreign Masha fans who translate, discuss and share whether privately or publicly, this blog will never be what it is today. I am still hoping to find more English lyrics somewhere, although from the looks of it, I will say things have slowed down a bit. Anyway, have a look. If you have any snippet about Masha to share with me, or pictures or lyrics, anything at all, please do not hesitate to do so. Do join in the discussion by using Post A Comment. Do consider sending me your submission of reviews. And for new Masha fans, if you like, do join my Contact List. Thanks for dropping by!
Truth is I am not into black and white photography, which is Masha's field of interest. I like colours and I find it incredibly wasteful that such wonderful colours of the Olympics that is the mega Beijing Olympics in 2008's pictures are rendered black and white. That being said there are certain virtues of black and white photography and that is it to me highlights the loneliness and the grit of an athlete in its pursuit of the medal. Such as the following ...
... or the discipline as can be seen in the following ...
.. and I particularly like the following where the tone enhances the mysteriousness of the performer ...
or the self portrait ...
I am not sure if the above was what Masha intended when he took the photograph. The rest are however like I said a pity because the colours should have been the main focus. If you're interested in seeing Masha's work on the Beijing Olympics (and it was work for him since he was on an official assignment) or his themesong for this event that is Higher Stage (great song by the way!) click READ MORE link for the download link.

Go to here. For the Olympics pictures, look for Photos Fukuyama Masaharu. For the themesong (video performance at Music Station, the one where Beyonce complimented him and tapped him on the shoulder much to his utter shock but you won't see this in the video), look for the link after HIGHER STAGE. TALK is the interview prior to the performance.
